What's your Mazda 5 nicknamed?

[twintrbo]

Usually its just "The Mazda" , my in-laws have smugly dubbed it the "mini-minivan" (sorry in-laws, not everyone thinks a family of 4 needs an oversized, overweight, 10 MPG QX56). On Tire Rack its saved as "New Blue" though, I kind of like that one.

My buddies call it Death Star and my old 06 was white so they called it the Stormtrooper.

My kids named ours "The Shark!"

Off topic slightly, but quite funny, my friends old Chrysler Aries K car wagon with fake wood paneling stickers was called "Wooden Death".

When my daughter was crazy about the movie ''Cars'', my red Protege became Lightning McQueen and our Stormy Blue 5 became Sally. At 3 y.o., she's able to point out other MZ5. She says, look dad, another Sally.

Kysoku...s'be "Kaisoku" but Missouri only offers 6 letters for personalized plates.

I get a lot of puzzlement "Kentucky...Southern...What?"

S'posed to be "fast, nimble" in Japanese, or close.

Well after reading this post and picking up my 2012 Mazda5 I asked friends to give suggestions on facebook.... many great ideas, some liked M5 since it sounds like a BMW... I liked the swagger wagon... but the name that has seemed to stick is "Swoopy" due to the lines on the sides... yeah it makes us laugh too, but when I head to lunch with the crew from work someone usually says "yeah you can drive and we can take Swoopy"

I call her Squattle.

From all the squeeks and rattles. This is my third 5. They all seem to have little squeaks or rattles somewhere. I've also had two 3's before. Both of those were SOLID.... What gives?

cheap suspension parts vs the total weight of the car i guess !

The Van, or The Mazda. Since we were an all Subaru family before. My daughter just says "Mommies car" or Daddies car" whenever we are going somewhere.

My wife calls it the "man-van"
